    Introduction

    Thesis statement: In Lord of the Flies, Golding postulates that the core of the human condition
    is savage and animalistic, in spite of leadership attempts to civilize it by giving out rules, but
    what really makes us human is our ability to wonder and to be kind.
    Book information (title, author):
    Brief context of novel (1-2 sentences):
    Optional Introduction Additions:
    General opening statement connected to the human condition (NOT in the form of a
    question):
    Historical context (if relevant to the thesis):
    Body Paragraph #1
    Topic of paragraph/topic sentence: Ralph attempts to create rules and set up civilization so
    that everyone can survive.
    Speaker: Ralph
    Context of the quote: When Piggy insists on his right of speech, Jack tells him that the conch
    does not count on the top of the mountain. Other boys are making a fire.
    Quote:
    Weve got to have special people for looking after the fire. Any day there may be a ship out
    therehe waved his arm at the taut wire of the horizon--and if we have a signal going theyll
    come and take us off. And another thing. We ought to have more rules. Where the conch is, thats
    a meeting. The same up here as down there (Golding 37-38).
    Relevance to topic sentence (controlling idea)/why is the quote important:
    Ralph emphasizes the importance of keeping a fire burning and gives out other rules to keep the
    group of boys, which is the society of that tiny island, in order.
    Relevance to thesis statement:
    It is a leaders responsibility to make rules and to execute them in order to keep the society
    running well, people are supposed to listen to the leader and obey the rules.
    Transition: However, as time goes by, some boys start running wild and barely listen to Ralph
    or follow the rules.
    Speaker: Ralph
    Context of the quote: Jack tells Piggy to shut up when Piggy is talking, and Ralph tells Jack
    that he does not have the conch so he is breaking the rules, but Jack does not care at all.
    Quote:
    Because the rules are the only thing weve got! (Golding 84).
    Relevance to topic sentence (controlling idea)/why is the quote important:
    If the boys keep breaking the rules, they will no longer be civilized because rules are the only

    thing to keep the society in peace and order; without rules, the whole world will be messed up
    and out of control.
    Relevance to thesis statement:
    In human society, there are different rules and punishments to keep the society running in a
    civilized, and people follow the rules so as not to lose their humanity.
